Summer of 2018
Last summer my husband and our youngest son went to Colorado for a camping trip. My sister and her family went to Houston for their vacation. I came home from work and our oldest pup wouldn’t get up to go outside and potty. Previously we would give him these anti-inflammatory/pain pills to help him with the arthritis in his hips. So that is what I gave him About 30 min later, when it would normally work, he still wouldn’t get up. I tried to help him with a towel wrapped under his belly. We got outside and I let go a bit and he just fell to the ground. So, I helped him back inside and I was in tears. I didn’t know what to do. I called my Mom and she told me, “why don’t you use your oils?” Well duh…why didn’t I think of that?! Needless to say I saw a gleam of hope.
I wiped my tears away and started reading what to do to help him. I started reading Essential Oils for Dogs and Cats. I then applied the following doTerra oils to the hip area: Marjoram, Frankincense, Massage Blend, Soothing Blend, and Lavender along with Fractionated Coconut Oil. Within about 10 min he got up all on his own! I couldn’t believe my eyes! I was over beyond excited. He went out to potty and then came in to eat his dinner.
I started to diffuse Frankincense in every room and proceeded to apply the oils mentioned above every 4 hours. By the next day he was back to his normal self. I then started applying the oils mentioned above once a week to prevent this from happening again.
